About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The Iowa Clinic offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of their pulmonology and critical care services. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, typically 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure. This allows the lungs to gather more oxygen than possible at normal air pressure, increasing the amount of oxygen the blood can carry to promote normal tissue oxygen levels. This therapy is used to treat conditions such as decompression sickness, serious infections, air bubbles in blood vessels, and wounds that are not healing due to diabetes or radiation therapy. The Iowa Clinic has multiple locations around the Des Moines metro area.
